Self Inquiry

16th Sep 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay conducted a spiritual teaching session focused on the path to liberation through devotion to Shiva's form as Dakshinamurti. He explained that the easiest and direct path to liberation involves turning away from sensory pleasures and external sources of happiness, instead focusing on finding bliss within through silence and disengaging from thoughts. Sanjay emphasized that true devotion requires withdrawing energy from sensory indulgences and directing it inward, practicing disinterested action where external outcomes don't matter. He discussed the importance of negating all thoughts without categorizing them as good or bad, and explained how this practice reveals the underlying silence that is the true nature of the self. Sanjay warned against the curse of success, noting how material wealth and external focus can distract from spiritual practice, and stressed the urgency of using time wisely in the body before death. He concluded by sharing personal experiences with Bhagavan and describing the grace that comes from knowing the inner silence, explaining that once tasted, one cannot return to sensory pleasures.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

14th Sep 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching on the nature of consciousness and awareness, explaining that reality is often obscured by superimposed illusions and mental activity. He distinguished between two types of vision - the mind-based vision that humanity typically lives in with constant thoughts and emotions, versus knowing reality as unchanging awareness without mind, body, or speech. Sanjay emphasized that awareness is our true nature, existing as pure knowledge and conscious observation outside the law of karma, and described how deep sleep provides a natural state of awareness without mental noise. He taught that through practice and surrender, one can remain in silent awareness while allowing physical actions to continue harmoniously, ultimately realizing that suffering arises from the false sense of being a separate doer.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

9th Sep 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay facilitated a post-retreat sharing session where participants discussed their experiences from a recent Satsang retreat held at Arunachala, India. Attendees shared their profound experiences, including feelings of bliss, silence, and deep spiritual connection that continued even after returning home. Participants described how the retreat transformed their spiritual practices and understanding, with some reporting ongoing shifts in energy and connection to the divine. Sanjay emphasized that the spiritual experiences were not dependent on location or specific methods, but rather on the pure intention and silence shared among participants, encouraging everyone to maintain their connection to the truth and continue their spiritual practices.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

19th Aug 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay led a meeting where participants shared experiences and asked questions about spirituality. Sanjay discussed a recent visit from Swami Sarvapriyananda from New York who blessed the land where they are building a meditation center called Ramana Arunachala Mandiram. The main portion involved questions about emotional experiences during meditation and free will versus destiny, which led to an extensive discussion about the nature of the ego and self-realization. Sanjay explained that true freedom comes from understanding that there is no separate "I" doing actions, and advised combining both knowledge (Jnana Marga) and devotion (Bhakti Marga) in spiritual practice. He also discussed methods to reduce doership, recommending continuing the practice of offering actions to the Lord while suggesting that self-inquiry could be an effective complementary approach. The conversation ended with Sanjay announcing that this would be their last Satsang before traveling to Arunachala, with the next meeting scheduled for September 9th.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

17th Aug 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay conducted a meditation session focused on teaching participants how to find inner silence through a technique of self-enquiry. He explained that meditation involves deliberately paying attention to inner silence rather than following thoughts, and introduced a method of asking "to whom do these thoughts arise?" followed by "who am I?" to reach this inner silence. Sanjay described how this practice can lead to realization of one's true nature as pure awareness or Brahman Atman, dissolving the ego and ending suffering. He emphasized that this inner journey transcends identification with the body and mind, leading to eternal liberation through grace, and concluded by encouraging participants to maintain faith in the practice and their guru.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !
